The Broadway Pub

I was just there this evening and the DJ was so god awful and the place so empty that I ultimately felt like I should share my experience with the world. Why 5 stars, you ask? Because I remember when my parents split up when I was 6 years old and my dad stayed here for a month to try and reconcile with my mom. He said it was the perfect the place to kill yourself. I guess any place that is so incredibly terrible it would meet all requisite expectations of a venue for committing suicide rightly deserves to be recognized in some form or fashion. I will definitely be back.

Just out for a Sunday drive and found this place on Unilocal for lunch. What a find! They have all you can eat wings with at least a dozen sauces-​so tempting, especially the wings rolled in butter and Parmesan (I know, right?!). I’ll have to come back to try them! We wound up ordering burgers, fries and onion rings. I had one with blue cheese and mushrooms, fantastic! The burger was ‘real’, not a patty, you could tell it was fresh. The fries were battered, love that, the onion rings were fresh and came out piping hot with a great dipping sauce. They take great care with the food here-​everything was good, and I’m very picky. There was a nice crowd-​a lot of people ordering wings and hanging out watching the football games. Nice relaxed vibe –gotta get back to try the wings-​highly recommend this place!

Food is good, atmosphere is okay. What irks me about this place is it’s terrible service. I eat here a lot (I love the vodka pasta) and not once have a gone a visit without receiving terrible service. The waitresses are always busy talking with each other and don’t make waiting on the customers their priority. I once asked my waitress for some boxes for my food. She walked over to the boxes, started talking to another waitress, walked away without our boxes, went to another table, got them drinks… THEN came back to us to ask us how we are doing. I was amazed. She forgot she was JUST HERE. Then of course she was like oh man yeah the boxes!
Where do you get your staff? Please, I’d love to know.

Portion size is plentiful. Sundays here are the best though… All you can eat wings for 8.95. Doesn’t get much better than that. Have some decent sauces and the wings are meaty. Service is always friendly. The restaurant itself is old and has lots of character.
Definitely a 4 for the price!

My husband and I just had a late lunch there and we were very pleased with our food. I had the Asian Pecan Chicken Salad and my husband had the Honey Crunch Wrap. Both were fresh and tasty. The salad included julienne apples and carrots, spring greens, blue cheese, pecans, craisins and a sizeable portion of glazed grilled chicken. The server was pleasant and efficient. The only negative – she was the only staff person we saw and she was doing it all. We almost left when we first came in since we waited 5 minutes without seeing anyone. The food was worth the wait though.

I had an opportunity ti visit the Broadway Pub in Bangor, PA recently. What a delightful surprise.
If you love old-​world feel or are nostalgic… you will enjoy the large wooden-​carved bar and masonry ambiance. Food was good. One of my friends had seared tuna and rolled her eyes in delight. It was cooked just right with the pink center that you would expect. I myself had an old favorite Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Chicken was slightly over-​cooked but had great flavor and still tender for cutting.
Overall, I witnessed a community of people that frequent this place, pay tribute to a very gifted acoustic player, that was returning to he’s home-​state. Unbelievable outpouring of affection/​respect for this man, whose signature is a friend along the way. Well, he left a trail of friends along the way… and they in turn befriended others along their way! Quite an evening.
Of course the event was usual, but I left having the feeling that community was what Broadway Pub is about. It was reflective in their waitstaff and bar-​persons. Yeah, I would go back again!

We held a small 50^th anniversary party at The Pub with the buffet meal selection. The chicken was moist, sauce was flavorful without being too strong. There was a great selection of cheeses for the cracker tray appetizer. Everyone loved the steak, saying how tender it was. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, replenishing sodas and coffee quickly. Tables were decorated simply but had a touch of elegance. Prices were reasonable and the happy couple and their guests had a great time.

I’m out in this area to see family semi-​often, and on almost every trip I stop in for the wings. Sinfully Creamy are my favorite.
Surprisingly, I have had the best crab cake from here… it’s outrageously good. It’s not on the menu anymore, but if they happen to have crab meat for one of their specials, they’ll make it for you– I HIGHLY recommend trying to get it.

I’ve been here a few times and have always been satisfied with the food and service. Prices are reasonable. Beautiful building and bar. And they have an adequate selection of beers (meaning they have a few craft IPA’s).
Service has always been friendly and competent. Nice to see this great building back open with a nice business.
Now I’ve returned several times. By now I think its time for a new menu and more specials. And I’d like to see more IPA choices on Tap.
But still a nice place for dinner.

On a friend’s recommendation we went to the Broadway pub. We loved the historic charm of the place. The restaurant was pretty empty being a Monday, We told our waiter Christopher (who by the way was very friendly, and welcoming, & attentive) that we had never been there what did he recommend. He said everything on the menu is great, fresh, made to order & home made. He was right. We had French onion soup, ½ dozen sinfully creamy wings, Asian pecan chicken salad with maple poppyseed dressing & a meatball parmesan hogie. The soup delicious cheese broiled nicely on the crock topped with crunchy French fried onions, the wings were amazing, a flavor I’ve never experienced before (they had several interesting flavors) they had a nice crispy coating, were juicy and meaty with a nice dipping sauce along with fresh celery, the salad was fresh (didnt taste like bagged salad) with grilled moist chicken cranberries, almonds, carrots, orange segments to name a few ingredients along with an amazing homemade dressing, the meatball parm came out piping hot with tasty meatballs & tasty cheese & nice bun. A huge portion with crispy fries & pickle. We were so stuffed from dinner we didn’t opt for dessert which sounded yummy too. Got to save something for next time. Christopher said they have all you can eat wings on Sundays, sounds like a glutanous temptation. We would definitely go back even though it would mean a drive over the NJ border and through the beautiful PA countryside!

only been here for lunch a couple of tmes but everything ordered at our table was very good! Good service… the pineapple upside down martini was a winner!

The Broadway Pub got a new menu a few months back, and I have to say, absolutely everything I’ve had off of it has been delicious. I highly recommend the melts — they are so tasty! The spinach and artichoke dip is also pretty awesome. The wait staff — usually pretty good. The bartending staff is great!
Atmosphere in here changes from day to night. I’ve been in for lunch, or to pick up a to go order, and there are scattered people sitting at the bar, chatting with the bartenders and watching TV. At night, it has been pretty busy for dinner. On the weekends, they get a good drinking crowd.
There are also specials every night! I follow them on Facebook, where they announce drink specials once in awhile.
I live right around the corner, so for me, this is a very convenient place to go. However, if you’re driving through, stop in! The new menu has really won my heart over compared to the old one.
It’s also a great place to just stop in to have a drink! And while another reviewer wrote that everyone knows each other… I don’t think so… I just think that everybody likes talking to one another. When the crowd is small and all located at the bar, I’ve found they are really friendly.

Not exactly my cup of tea. I’m not from the Bangor area, and it’s clear that everyone here knows each other and hangs out here nearly every day. Mostly a punk-​type crowd. I came here during the heatwave thinking it might be a respite from the heat, but the AC was broken. It was over 90 degrees out… at night! I couldn’t stand it very long.

The Broadway Pub has been a great addition to the area, and has been drawing in decent crowds for their nightlife scene. The place is absolutely beautiful inside, and you can tell a lot of care and attention to detail has gone into the restoration of the building that was once the dumpiest place in Bangor (the Colonial, different owners).
I’ve enjoyed their food the handful of times I’ve had it, but haven’t tried out their more upscale dining room which, I’m told, has a different menu. But more often than not, I’d go for the nightlife, which consists of a very 20’s set, not shy to let on that they’re having a good time.
While the live bands can sometimes be too loud, there’s at least the rear dining room one can scurry off to in order to have a conversation. But typically everything’s a-​ok. The drink service at the bar is as prompt as circumstances allow, the bartenders are typically friendly if not jovial, and the prices are pretty reasonable.
Even if I weren’t a smoker, I’d probably still visit the sidewalk occasionally, as the gaggle outside the door can be an interesting bunch depending on their levels of drunkenness. And it’s always fun to see a group of drinkers who’ve been stripped of the insulating loud music and dim lights.
Good times are to be had at this place. And if times get a little too good, you can rent a room upstairs for $ 45.
